About the Series
While one-third of U.S. workers are chronically stressed, recent studies show that executive and professional women consistently experience more stress, anxiety, and psychological distress than do men.
Additionally, more than 90 percent of female employees wish for better and more accessible help from their employer for treatment of their depression and/or anxiety, according to one study.
Neither triple board-certified neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho, nor her sister, professional poker player Maria Ho, are a stranger to this issue.
In this series, they foster an open dialogue on this complex topic. From Maria’s lived experience at the male-dominated poker table, to Dr. Judy’s expertise on workplace burnout and women’s mental health, this series breaks down how to cope with this unique type of stress in the workplace.
There are many factors that contribute to the unique mental health obstacles women face at work; this eye-opening discussion breaks down the causes of, and solutions for, those obstacles.

This series is for women who experience stress, anxiety, or depression and are looking for strategies to cope with and overcome these issues while staying productive at work.
